Evaluation of Central Administrators (EOCA)

Each year, the Committee for Evaluation of Central Administrators (EOCA) compiles information about two central administrators through research and interviews. It is an upward evaluation by faculty of key administrators. The evaluation is designed to provide feedback to the President and Executive Vice President and Provost on the effectiveness and role of both the office and the individual.

Rules / Responsibilites

The committee for evaluation of central administrators shall consist of eight members.

(1) Six tenured faculty members appointed in the spring by the president from a slate nominated by the executive committee of faculty council.

(a) The term of service is three years. Members shall not be reappointed to a second term until they have been off the committee for at least two years, except that a member may be reappointed immediately if that person was appointed to fill a vacant position with a remaining term of less than two years.

(b) A chair will be elected each spring from among the faculty members serving on the committee.

(2) Two administrators, appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the president. The term of service is three years.
